We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

Two dimensional positioning of brain cells (dots) based on their gene expression, used in a study about cortical brain cell variation between individuals. Cells are color-coded by donor. Image credit ...

T-cells that are part of our immune system are central in the protection against infections and cancer. With the help of TCRs, the cells recognize foreign invaders and tumor cells. “It was previously ...
